bachmann mini planes

frogster1028 · 10-26-2005, 11:43 AM

I have a bunch of these already and I'd like to complete the collection. I found a list of all of the bachmann mini plane models, but I have no idea on valuations, except for ebay.

Does anyone here deal with these?

I have a collection of them with the boxes, but not a complete collection. Do you know that they were still being offered in the early 80s? Only on blister packs though. KMart sold them in boxes simply marked "Airplane" while in England they were called "Plasty Airfix."

The Japanese issues and the Boeing YC-14(?) are reputedly difficult to find.

I kept all of my boxes, but my parents had the thought to clean out my closet some years ago. now, i only have a couple boxes.

This reminds me of my childhood. I remember having a B-1 bomber and I think my brother had a Skyraider. I'm sure they're still somewhere in my parents' house since they NEVER throw stuff out. You should see their basement!

These would look even better with the landing gear in the "down" position, but I was reluctant to do so, as they are fragile plastic.
